World's Most Unexplained

I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with this show. The topics are all naturally interesting, they're described in depth, and most of the people doing commentary seem thoughtful, intelligent, and engaging...albeit a bit dry. But it never fails: every episode makes me start yawning and checking my phone. Why? Because each topic is discussed for far too long, and that commentary is usually everyone sharing the same or similar viewpoints. It all starts to feel like a ton of repetitive filler. The show could easily be boiled down to a half hour without losing any content. I hate to say that, because I intensely dislike the slick, rapidfire delivery and editing of most shows like this, but this one just takes it too far. And while I give the background music kudos for trying to be non-intrusive, it's too much so, and kind of acts like a lullaby. I hope they can do something about the pacing in future episodes, because the premise is good, and it's a nice change from the "100% Accepted as Fact" paranormal shows out there.

This is a great little show that sadly doesn't seem to have more than a dozen or so episodes, and many times they spliced segments from one to another to create a new and longer episode. This is very much visually appealing and kudos goes to the cinematographer camera-people and lighting persons. They rarely get accolades but they should as they truly are the unsung heroes of whichever shows we find visually appealing. The word "expert" is of course used loosely: when you have a psychic or palmist, can they really be experts in anything? However many of the interviewees are fun to listen to, and the topics are presented in a very entertaining way. I mean how else are you going to find pleasurable the (mysterious) death of a young woman, found face down in a hotel's water tank? Well the way it was presented here and makes it very entertaining.

I find this show riveting fun to watch and I wish they had made many more episodes; hopefully it is not canceled but sadly the travel channel has a history of canceling the good shows in favor of the lame and very boring ghost hunting shows which are always the same. The only thing is that this show appears to come from England so they all talk with the thick accents and I need subtitles to understand what exactly they're saying or else I'll miss a few words here and there. I have many favorites of this episodes but I'll let you go down the list so you can pick your own; they're currently available On Demand.
